The HD format could become the next laser disc if consumers are not kept up to speed on the new hardware and its capabilities. HD is vastly superior to DVD, but some consumers will be left scratching their heads unless they’re taught about this new and amazing format and DVDFuture wishes to be on the forefront of HD technology with HD-DVDFuture.

HD-DVDFuture
I’m sorry that I never got to add my second part of the Best and Worst of 2005. I was doing too many things all at one time and I just plain forgot to upload it.
If you’d like to read my Worst of 2005 list, you can check it out on my myspace profile. Add me as a friend as well. I post a weekly blog there, sometimes film related, other times, not.
The subject of today’s Film Stripped is going to be a little bit different. I’ve talked it over with the site administrator, Jay Paulson, and over the next year, DVDFuture.com will evolve slightly to accommodate the latest format...High Definition Video. The site's new page will be called HD-DVDFuture. Here's a look at the potential logo:
I’m currently in the process of updating my hardware; including my DLP projector, player and audio components, but that will take some time. I’m hoping to create a new branch to DVDFuture which will accommodate not only HD-DVD reviews and Blu-ray reviews, but also offer the latest news, HD broadcast programming news and reviews and hardware reviews, starting with a review of Toshiba’s HD-DVD player.
The HD format could become the next laser disc if consumers are not kept up to speed on the new hardware and its capabilities. HD is vastly superior to DVD, but some consumers will be left scratching their heads unless they’re taught about this new and amazing format.
In the coming weeks I’ll be adding a small F.A.Q. for anyone wanting to know more about HD-DVD and Blu-ray. If you have questions regarding anything HD, now’s the time to ask. I’m also hoping to review television shows and movies that are currently being seen on HDNET and other HD networks such as HBOHD, DISCHD, NBCHD and INHD and possibly offering a recommended viewing schedule.
I’m not sure exactly what the site will look like or how everything will work, but keep your eyes peeled to DVDFuture for the latest in HD news. Also, I haven’t gotten a chance to check out the Toshiba HD-DVD player yet, but I should be getting one within the next few months. I’ll have a detailed review then.
If you have comments, concerns, questions or suggestions regarding our new addition to DVDFuture.com, by all means, email me and let me know. We’re up for any suggestions you may have. HD-DVDFuture will likely be an extension of the site, and not a new site. You will be able to access it through the DVDFuture.com web address. Again, I’ll keep everyone posted on that as it develops.
HD products are still fairly new and not many people are totally familiar with it, so our transition will be slow. We’ll try to get an HD site up and running as soon as possible, but it will take time.
That’s about it for this edition of Film Stripped.
Again, check out my myspace profile to view my blog and to read my Worst of 2005 list and add me as a friend.
Also, check out my somewhat pessimistic Film Stripped regarding the release of HD-DVD.
